Thoughts from the presentation.
From Maureen’s handout, which included an article from Learning & Leading with Technology which is available to ISTE members here:
(In) A Constructivist Learning Environment:
- Knowledge is constructed, not just reproduced.
- Previous knowledge is valued.
- There are relationships to the real world.
- Multiple viewpoints are represented.
- Collaboration and social interaction are encouraged.
I love the following quote as I’ve used another from Marvin Bartel in the past:
“I kill creativity when I demonstrate instead of having students practice. ”
- Marvin Bartel
Webquests - Bernie Dodge - Change a fact finding question into a compelling, intriguing challenge. A good question involves:
- Going beyond fact finding,
- Analysis, evaluation, discussion and debate
- Demonstration of new knowledge
Guidelines for group interaction
- Rubrics: individual and/or group; project and process
- Reflections of members of the group; journals
- Evaluation of work; group or individual assessment
